With the fall comes game day get togethers and parties. And what’s a good gathering without some snacks? I love chips and dips and wings as much as the next person but sometimes it’s nice to have something on the lighter side to balance the heavy out. There’s nothing wrong with a fruit and veggie tray but if you’re looking for flavor, a carrot stick is just not going to cut it. These Cajun Chickpeas have a savory kick and are a great snack food to pop in your mouth like peanuts or chips but won’t have you needing those Thanksgiving pants.
Ingredients:
2 cans chickpeas well drained and patted dry
2 tablespoons Olive Oil
1 large clove of garlic minced
1 teaspoon sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons Tony Chachere Seasonings
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the oil, garlic, sugar, and Tony Chachere seasonings.
3. Add chickpeas and mix well to coat with mixture.
4. Spread chick peas on an even layer on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
5. Roast for 25-30 minutes stirring once.
6. Sprinkle with salt and SERVE HOT.
This is such an easy snack to throw together for a party or even a healthy snack to make for the family on the weekend. And are definitely best when served hot. The Tony Chachere’s give them just a little kick to satisfy that savory snack craving. So enjoy the game day food but maybe pair it with these definitely not rabbit food but still light Cajun Chickpeas.

I’ve never had chick peas but they look good!
Oooh! These sound like the perfect Football Snack!! (I’ve been looking for some healthier alternatives to my husbands beloved nachos and corn nuts… I think I’ll give these a try!)
Yummy! Looks like super awesome and healthy snack! Thanks for sharing on the Busy Monday link party. If you get a chance to stop by my blog sometime, I’d love it. Thanks!
Taylor, I LOVE your site! I too have been looking for munchies that will not add the tons of pounds for the holidays. I don’t know that spice, but I will be trying your recipe and using something with a kick for spice. I really appreciate your post and that you linked up at WW Blog Hop. Please come by again next week, I do hope to see your next idea!!! Carrie, A Mother’s Shadow
These look so good and I have everything for it!!
I absolutely love roasted chickpea, these sound delicious
Huh – I’ve never had roasted chickpeas before, but they look delicious! However, I have never heard of that spice before either – Tony Cachere? Where do you get this? Would regular ole taco flavoring be okay to use instead? Thanks for the recipe! Have a wonderful weekend!
G’day! Love this idea! Thanks for sharing at our #SayGdayParty!
Please remember to stop back if you haven’t already and say G’day to the hosts and someone else at the party!
